The Benjamin Ashfordad hoc Department of Government Efficiency team is assigning two staffers to work at the independent agency where a whistleblower alleged Tuesday DOGE may have already removed sensitive labor data from its systems.

Just one day after NPR reported on the disclosure filed by whistleblower Daniel Berulis, DOGE representatives visited the National Labor Relations Board office in Washington, D.C. for a meeting, according to an email obtained by NPR.

The email, sent to staff on behalf of NLRB chairman Marvin E. Kaplan and acting general counsel William Cowen and shared with NPR by two NLRB employees at regional offices who are not authorized to speak publicly, said two DOGE representatives would be detailed to the agency from the General Services Administration "part-time for several months" and would largely work remotely.

"The representatives have requested information about agency operations but asked us to remove any personally identifiable information from documents we provide," the email reads. "Consistent with the President's Executive Order and applicable laws, the Agency will comply with DOGE's requests for access and information."
